Cyme Mini in Textured Root

Where the Cyme is about how a tote can change its appearance, the Mokki is more concerned with what happens after the bag leaves the photograph. Its divided interior, flap and adjustable strap offer a degree of organisation that matters when there are keys, a phone, gloves and the other small inconveniences of winter to accommodate. It is still an attractive, deliberately designed handbag, but one with an argument beyond the way it looks. The smaller Mokki in Plum is a particularly pleasing example. The folded leather gives the colour somewhere to settle without becoming decorative fuss, while the darker shade lends a compact bag a sense of occasion. Candied Chestnut is the easier everyday companion. It sacrifices some of Plum's immediacy but gains flexibility alongside lighter outerwear and other neutral colours. Choosing between them is less a question of taste than of what is missing from the wardrobe already.
